Welcome to Ufa, the capital of Bashkortostan and one of the
scientific, cultural and economic centers of the country, founded in
1574 by Tsar Ivan IV (the Terrible ).

Ufa today offers you every thing from a business point of view
with more than one hundred plants in the industrial zone offering a
variety of industries from metals to perfumes and cosmetics.

Ufa's reputation for instrument making and machine building
together with its refining and petro-chemical processing has led the
development and success of the Bashkortostan region.

Bashkortostan has a varied landscape that stretches from the
steppe lands in the west to the Ural Mountains in the east, one
third of the republic is covered by forest, mainly birch, maple and
oak.

The beautiful scenery of Bashkortostan is blessed with over
eight hundred lakes and six hundred rivers which is home and a
multitude of wildlife including bears, moose, foxes, rabbits and
over two hundred species of birds and is therefore a very popular
area for activities such as horse trekking, hiking and horse sleigh
rides in winter.

Timur, in November took part in Ufa’s open contest of works
in the sphere of public service advertising. Approximately 150 authors from
many cities of Russia, Byelorussia, and Kazakhstan took part in it. My son
claimed first and second places in several nominations and his wife did
third place on one. It did not bring any money to them, but it will serve to
promotion of Timur’s small company.

These
banners and leaflets (“It Is Simply to Become the Real Hero!”) were
used in the campaign of recruiting volunteer donors in October. Ufa
blood transfusion station’s chief said that they helped to increase
rate of blood donating significantly: http://www.timsabitov.ru/adve/Geroem_stat_prosto.php

This banner derides our government’s tax policy. The
slogan ironically repeats the revenue service’s call, “Pay Taxes and
Sleep Calmly”: “Welcome to World of Shadows! Since January 1, 2011:
Pay Taxes and Sleep Calmly. The Next Thriller by Russia’s
Parliament”:
